Our belts are supposed to be set at a specific tension if not they'll make the noise you're describing. Pressing down on the belt it shouldn't move more than a 1/4" so you may not have them tight enough.

I wish i could. I don't have the tools to do that since i moved here from Mass. I might need to as i heard the squeak again. How i will manage i'm not sure. Went away on its own though.

It doesn't squeak upon start up. It only does that after warming up and its sitting or after driving. Some days it does it and some days it doesn't.

Make sure you loosen the sholder bolt before you use the jack screw. Also, Adding grease wouldnt hurt. My did the same thing once i changed it and then I tightned it to the spec mentioned above and it went away...
